Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- dash salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten free oats, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Add the pumpkin puree and maple syrup, stirring well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and form a sticky dough. Fold in the chocolate chips last to distribute them throughout.
- Form Cookies: Using a cookie scooper or your hands, scoop portions of the dough onto the baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to help them bake evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these chewy, wholesome pumpkin oatmeal cookies as a nutritious treat!
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the oats lightly before mixing.
- You can substitute chocolate chips for raisins or dried cranberries for a different twist.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile.
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is pure and unsweetened for optimal taste.
